Things To Do

You may choose to remain on the Tanonga property for the duration of your stay. Walk the extensive walking trails or just sit by the billabong and reflect. During winter and early spring you will be charmed by the vast array of flowering local plants and orchids and the birds which come to breed on the property.

November through to March is a special time when critically endangered Yellow tailed black cockatoos come to feast on the Allepo pines on the property.

Or simply take the time to learn more about the environmentally sustainable principles used in the design of your lodge. You can read the solar power system manual and see the system in operation.
